Ok, I hear that Pre CU Sabers are superior to Post CU sabers and from what I see, this is 100% true. My question is: What makes them better? I know the pre cu pearls/crystals obviously but are the sabers themselves identical? Or, are the actual crafted sabers different as well?If identical, Im gonna grab a 12 point suit and try for some amazings.
Thanks

Well the sabers themselves are pretty much the same.......some have converted well and has awsome stats that are reaaaalllllyyy hard to get post-CU.
But as you said, the difference really is the crystals/pearls.

well its of course cool to have a nicely crafted saber but it only makes a very very slight difference.

I have a post CU saber that is 33FC, 698 max 115SAC 1.56 speed, and a 14fc 586 max 1.39 speed. Heard rumors of some Jedi having precu that converted to zero sac.

I believe its beacuse pre-cu when you experimented on damage you also experimented on the speed of the saber, post cu you have to put points in separately into speed and then damage inorder to achieve the same results. So now pre-cu sabershave higher damage and are faster rather then post sabers whcih are either faster or have higher damage but cant get both to the same level as pre-cu.
Thats my take on it please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's why Ill shoot for amazings. An amazing success will 'fill' more boxes per experiment then a great. It's essentially like being 14 or 16 point or higher.

Its more on the pearls and resources you use.
If you have good pearls and good resources you can make a near or over 700 dps. I have seen them made.
It is hard to get close to pre cu quality sabers post cu, but it is possible.

i rescently tried to make a new polearm saber with a 24pt ls experimentaioin suit, and my pre-cu saber is still way better, in fact the post-cu saber couldnt touch the pre-cu ones. Generally pre-cu ones are faster than post (if u experiment on efficiency and dmg)

Pre cu dmg and speed was one experiment bar so thats where the advantage is all be it virtually pointless as its the pearls that make the difference.
The only significant advantage that may exist, is for those that experimented fully in dmg pre cu....i wonder what stats on that would be post.

let me put it this way to get the same stats on a post-cu saber than on a pre-cu you would need a 14-16pt crafting suit
this is due to the fact that when you experimente in dmg it also got speed not like now... the main problem is that in pvp some ppl had sabers that they had experimented all on dmg and the rest on efficiency and when the devs did a pass and put all sabers at 100 sac they ended with sabers that had the benefit of if they had put 8 points into each of efficiency/dmg/speed making them into 24pt sabers which are totally unmachable no matter how you try add that too 4 * 120 -9 .3 pearls and you have an absolutly insane saber. those sabers even though they have high force cost sac is balanced with the sabers now that are experimented for efficiency.
so in other words the only pre-cu sabers that we can try and match are those that were experimented on efficiency and then on dmg/speed and that is if you get all amazings which i must say i have not got an amazing on LS exp in a few months... sad but true
just my 2 cents

my post cu saber, with crystals and pearls is 26 fc (ow) 550-650 damage give or take a few points of damage, something like 1.6 mod speed, 95 sac, its all post cu tunes and such, its possible to get a decent saber damage wise but it takes a hell of alot of luck in tuning, and even then i didnt get alot of luck fc wise
personally i just want one or two better force cost tunes with decent damage, get my fc down to 18 or so and id be happy
